It not a bug. It is the nature of the way the Adobe epub software that is the base for most ereaders assigns page numbers. Since the amount of text displayed on a "physical screen" of the device depends on font size, an Adoble "epub page" is calculated as 1024 characters, so if you are using a larger font it will be multiple pages. Yes this is arbitrary (but consistent) but what would be a better way? You have to pick some number and if you change font size from the standard used you're right back where you started. If you want to use actually pages from the book what edition do you use (hardcover, softcover etc). And you still don't end up with one page per screen.
There is no way around this with epubs currently.
